Prepping Your Home for Holiday Guests
As the festive holiday season approaches, you may be thinking about how to prepare your home to welcome family and friends. Whether you are planning to host a few dinner parties or have overnight guests, there are a few things that you can do to get your home holiday-ready. From updating a few pieces of furniture to decorating, read on to learn more about prepping your home for holiday guests, so that you can celebrate the season in style.
Prepare the Guest Room
If you are prepping your home for holiday guests who plan to stay overnight, be sure that your spare bedroom is clean and welcoming. Start by decluttering your guest bedroom and store extra items in the closet or in a chest or dresser. A beautiful set of window panels adds privacy and a warm aura to the bedroom. Update the bedding in the guest room and add soft, warm blankets and fluffy pillows for comfort. A high-pile area rug placed underneath the bed is a wonderful way to add a warm and welcoming touch. If you do not have an extra bedroom, consider purchasing a sleeper sofa. This sleeper sofa is similar to a standard sofa but has a built-in mattress that makes it an excellent option so that you can offer comfort to your beloved overnight visitors.
Make Your Home Personal
Whether you are simply hosting a few holiday parties or having some friends over for several days, you can update your home and make it more personal to create a more intimate space. Consider displaying several photos of your family throughout areas like the living room, spare bedroom, and even the bathroom. A nice gallery wall displayed in a hallway is a wonderful choice. If you don’t have a lot of framed family photographs, place a photo album on the coffee table. Making your house a place that is personal and special to you is crucial when prepping your home for holiday guests.
Celebrate with Décor
As you get ready to prepare your home for holiday guests, remember to make it festive with holiday décor. If you’re celebrating Christmas, get your tree ready with lights and ornaments early. Drape some beautiful pine garland across your fireplace mantel for a festive touch. A beautiful seasonal centerpiece on the dining room table is another easy way to add a cheerful element to your holiday home. String lights, wreaths, and floral arrangements bring holiday color and cheer to any room. Bring in as much décor as you can to give the entire home a warm, seasonal aesthetic. Remember that the holiday season is about giving thanks and celebrating. With the right updates, you’ll be able to welcome your holiday guests to a warm and inviting home that they will love.
